Egston, an Austria-based electronic manufacturing company, was faced with the challenge of updating their entire line of power supplies to comply with new norms on electromagnetic emission and efficiency. The company produces a wide range of units with varying voltage, functions, and efficiency, which added to the complexity of the task. The impending issuance of new norms and regulations in Europe necessitated a swift response, and the company had to meet a tight deadline. To augment their development team and meet these requirements, Egston sought the assistance of external resources.

Egston is an electronic manufacturing company based in Austria. The company specializes in the production of high-quality inductive components such as transformers and inductor coils, antennas, and cable systems for the automotive and other industries. Egston manufactures a wide array of hardware for the automotive industry and has a large line of power supplies that meet various needs and market standards. The company was faced with the challenge of updating their entire line of power supplies to comply with new norms and regulations on electromagnetic emission and efficiency.

Egston partnered with N-iX engineers for the hardware development of one of their power supply lines. The project required rigorous testing of all parameters of the power supply unit (PSU), including voltage, radiation, and electromagnetic emission. The N-iX team developed a working prototype in a short timeframe, ensuring the device's efficiency while maintaining the necessary parameters. The engineers designed a line of power supplies comprising five types of units ranging from 5 to 54 volts. They developed the board, the scheme, and the construction of the transformer. The device was developed to meet all existing norms worldwide, including Europe, the USA, Japan, and Israel, and is compatible with any socket in the world, from 110 to 250 volts.

• The collaboration between Egston and N-iX resulted in the successful development of a line of power supplies that met all international standards within a limited timeframe. The N-iX team's rigorous testing and careful study of industry norms and documentation ensured the product was fully ready for production. The power supply units were developed on-site, allowing for immediate verification and certification to meet the requirements. The project's success was a testament to the effective communication established between the Egston core team and N-iX professionals.

• Developed a set of power supplies to cover a wide range of voltages from 5V to 24V
